I’m not sure about children, but…

by

The most important part of being a good parent, is being good to yourself.  I just read a tweet from someone that said something to the effect of “I’m not just a blogger, I’m a person” and oh how quickly as parents, we forget that we are people too.  And, so we need to make sure that we pamper ourselves every now and again so we make good parents.

One way to do this is to take in some special promotions we’re running right now http://www.affinia.com/Chicago-Specials.aspx.  We have a really neat BBQ Bootcamp event with two celebrity Chefs, Marcus Samuelsson of C-House Restaurant & David Burke of David Burke’s Primehouse in The James Hotel in May.

If you are wondering where I got wind of this, I will be staying at the Affinia Hotel in Chicago when I got Blogher in July and I’m so excited.  I’ve never been to Chicago and just look at these photos…would a short stay at a wonderful location as this make it easier when you clean up that red juice up off the white carpet for the 100th time this week alone?

About Parenting Sites 411

Parenting is hard enough, isn't it? It's a wonderful thing when you can get online and find where another parent has gone through exactly what you're going through and you can see that they made it through to the other side. Here at Parenting Sites 411, I hope to connect you to the websites and blogs out there that show this journey through parenthood and the lessons that we can all learn together. We don't have to be alone, even though sometimes it sure feels that way!
